CanoScan N67OU and Windows 7

Question

Is the CanoScan N67OU scanner compatible with Windows 7? I ran the Windows 7 compatibility advisor program and tried to update the CanoScan driver but it seems that I'm using the latest driver, dated 2003. Under Windows XP this scanner still does everything I've asked it to do. Does Windows 7 offer significantly increased capability such that I should consider upgrading the scanner to be compatible with the new OS?

First you might go to Device Manager, right click your hardware device in the list and select Update Driver Software; then click Search automatically for updated driversoftware.

Note: Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers. Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published; however, we cannot guarantee all drivers will work on all hardware platforms as there are too many different models, although their hardware ID are the same as the standard version. In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error.

If it does not work on your issue, I'd suggest you installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode. Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file -> Properties and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver via Run as administrator. In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing.

Meanwhile, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; you might wait or push the device manufacturer to upgrade its driver. Thanks for your time and understanding!

You need to go to the Canon website and download a newer driver. According to Canon there is a Vista driver that was published 10/04/2007. If you run the setup program in the Vista SP2 compatibility mode it should install.

A workaround may be this: If the device is identified in Start (orb)>Devices and Printers you can click Start>enter scan in the search box>select Windows Fax and Scan Program from the results and attempt a scan.

I downloaded the driver from the Canon site. I received a executable folder calledlide20lide30n670un676un1240uvst7031a_xpen.exe . Running this creates a folder of the same name containing another executable folder called SetupSG.exe and a readme file. When I run this file in compatibility mode, something happens, but it is too quick on the screen and I can't see it. However, it does not install a driver to my scanner.

What did you do to make it work? Were you using 32 or 64 bit Windows 7?

After much trying, testing and experimenting, I found that the solution was to buy a refurbished (i.e. new but package not as new) Lide 100 from the Canon outlet on Ebay for £24 (UK), and forget about trying to find a driver.

I finally found a solution to this problem. I happen to be running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I downloaded and installed a software called VueScan. With that Im able to scan things even thought I haven't installed any drivers for the Canoscan.

The problem with Vuescan is that you have to pay for it, and it doesn't come cheap. Buying a new, more modern scanner only cost me half as much as buying Vuescan would have done, and I am not now at the mercy of a third party supplier..

On the device Manager, Find you CanoScan Scanner, then Properties, then Driver, then Update Driver, Locate and Install driver Manually, Browse and locate you original CanoScan CD and it's all good from there. It will update it and install your driver to
windows 7. It worked for me. Try it.
